← Human Body & HealthIf a therapy extends telomere length in osteoblasts, which consequence is most likely within aging bone tissue?
A)Increased osteoclast differentiation directly
B)Enhanced parathyroid hormone sensitivity acutely
C)Reduced bone matrix mineralization globally
D)Improved collagen synthesis and organization✓
💡 Explanation
Telomere shortening in osteoblasts impairs their function, leading to reduced collagen production and disorganized bone matrix. Extending telomere length promotes cellular replication and function; because of this enhanced function, collagen synthesis and organization improves, therefore bone quality increases rather than exhibiting reduced mineralization or altered hormone sensitivity.
